Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{16}O$ . It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{18}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.

Answer:

Synergism

Explanation:

Synergism -

It refers to the process of interaction between the any two or more chemicals , i.e. , combining the chemicals increases the effect of the chemical , is referred to as synergism .

The individual drug or chemical might not be strong or harmful in any respect , but combining it with various other drugs or chemical , might make it very strong or harmful .

Hence ,from the given scenario of the question ,

The correct answer is synergism .

Farmers who raise cotton once used arsenic acid, H₃AsO₄, as a defoliant at harvest time. Arsenic acid is a polyprotic acid with

Stels [109]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$H_{3}AsO_{4} \rightleftharpoons H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4} + H^{+}$

Hence, the expression for $K_{a}$ is as follows.

$K_{a} = \frac{[H_{2}SO^{-}_{4}][H^{+}]}{[H_{3}AsO_{4}]}$

Let us assume that the concentration of both $[H_{2}AsO^{-}_{4}]$ and $[H^{+}]$ is x.

$2.5 \times 10^{-4} = \frac{x \times x}{0.5}$

x = 0.01118034

This means that the concentration of $[H^{+}]$ is 0.01118034.

Since, we know that the relation between pH and concentration of hydrogen ions is as follows.

pH = $-log [H^{+}]$

= $-log (0.01118034)$

= 1.958

Thus, we can conclude that the pH of a 0.500 M solution of arsenic acid is 1.958.
